Buxton Blue vs Casabella

Buxton BlueBenjamin MoorevsCasabellaBenjamin MooreΔE 37.2Very different colors

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, Buxton Blue belongs to the blue family and Casabella to the beige family. With LRVs of 45 and 45, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Buxton Blue's blue character against Casabella's red — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 37.2, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
